The August software update for Pixel phones has started making its way to users. This month’s update includes a handful of relatively low-key bugfixes on Pixel 10, and also patches a security vulnerability Google categorized as high-severity.
Google announced the update in a post on the Google Pixel community forum. The biggest change is that, on Pixel 10-series phones, a few bugs have been fixed: certain game-related crashes should be fixed, as well as GPU and touchscreen issues.
There are two versions of the update rolling out. Most phones will see the global variant, which brings their software up to version CP2A.260805.005. Phones from Canadian service provider Rogers will be updated to version CP2A.260805.005.A1.
Phones eligible for the update include:
Pixel 8 (Global update only)
